Chapter 226 Late Problems
The so-called "background visualization" is a statement from Van Zhe himself.
For example, the concept design he just completed, the image of the protagonist and the image of heroic in a martial arts uniform. On the background of his punching scene, above the blurred audience stage, an avalanche scene occupied almost two-thirds of the entire northern border of the picture, and looked quite domineering.
Fan Zhe’s handling on this is still very clever. This avalanche scene background blends well with the picture.
He sent the concept design pictures to the art team and solicited some opinions, and the feedback given by most people was still very good.
This is not a flattery for the boss.
The corporate culture and team atmosphere of Didu Entertainment are not popular. Fan Zhe never puts on any leadership posture at work, and it is very common to communicate with his subordinates. The entire team tends to be flat from management to work.
What's more, "Bossing the Boss" seems to have almost become the company culture of "Dimension Entertainment". This matter is still led by that guy Zhong Hua.
After all, in terms of content production, "Dimension Entertainment" has seriously developed its own cultural style. If you have something to say, it is not right to people, and if you think it is not good in the production and design of the work, you will be blunt.
Fan Zhe has also experienced some concept design drawings he made. After posting them to the group, everyone has found faults.
For him, this is nothing, but a good way to make progress. At the same time, gathering group forces will certainly help better works.
Of course, given the level gap, sometimes some people have made bad suggestions, but Fan Zhe is not a fool, so it is impossible to listen to all suggestions.
Let’s talk about the concept design of “background visualization” completed by Fan Zhe, when everyone is basically satisfied, there is no big problem.
But then someone asked another question.
"Boss, your picture is really good, but even if we draw it like this, will they produce corresponding synthetic animations in the post-production...it's too difficult? I'm not those who don't believe in dimension technology, but... even if they can do it, it will take a lot of energy, right?"
The question raised by this person made Fan Zhe stunned.
Of course, his first reaction was that he found it funny. Others didn't know about the "dimensional" system, so Fan Zhe himself knew it.
There is nothing we can do about things that people can't think of. The "dimensionality" system cannot be made out of thin air, but as long as you want it, there is no problem.
However, if you say so, there is still a realistic factor.
In Fan Zhe's production plan, he expected to complete the crew within one month, and complete the preliminary shooting in three to four months, and finally complete the post-production in about two months.
Now, the crew building is almost done. Zhao Lin and Wang Zhicheng, the two deputy directors who have worked with before, have once again cooperated with Fan Zhe. These two deputy directors have started to go out locations everywhere, and the company's business department is also following up on related studio rentals and outdoor scene rentals.
Fan Zhe will also follow the plan for the subsequent shooting, and there should be no problems.
But post-production will be a problem, especially if it needs to be done according to the design drawings he has given now.
The theme story of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" tells the story of the protagonist Lou Cheng's progress in the road of martial arts. At the same time, he started step by step from a small outer ring, then played in the National University Martial Arts Association, and then participated in the professional league...
There is no doubt that the ring competition will be a very important part of this work.
In the original novel, the author wrote the battle on the arena very well written. Fan Zhe did not want to throw away this feature after film and television production.
Therefore, it is necessary to do the fighting on the ring as well as possible.
‘Background visualization design’ is currently an ideal practice, but it is very difficult to make.
It would be fine if it was just high, but it was mainly because it was very large.
In the case of a large number of ring matches, it means that this part of the special effects need to be done a lot.
It is difficult and has a lot of production. Of course, it can be done in the "dimension" system, but calculations take time.
At present, the so-called 'dimensional technology' is just a few servers.
The last time I updated the machine was a year ago. At that time, I bought a good performance. I connected it with other machines through a 'dimensional' system to support the operation of various projects of the company.
It's been enough all along.
However, when the production of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" is more difficult to go online as scheduled, it is no longer enough based on the existing equipment.
Fan Zhe is planning to purchase a few more machines, with a budget of about 10 million. It should be able to use it in parallel with the current equipment, and it should meet the needs of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" and the use of more and more projects that Dimension Entertainment will carry out in the future.
At the same time, he was still thinking about whether he could do a supercomputer?
It is not realistic to create something like "Tianhe No. 2" or "Shenwei. The Light of Taihu Lake" and so on. The investment is too large and there is no need for the time being.
However, if you only use your own supercomputer center, the problem is not too big.
Technically, you can contact relevant technical manufacturers to do it. The most important aspect of money is that "Dimension Entertainment" should be able to afford it now.
This year is about to end. Next year, can we keep a low profile and build a supercomputer cluster that belongs to us?
Weidu Entertainment can make an investment of about 100 million yuan.
As Fan Zhe thought about it, he took this matter into his notes.
...
After placing the needs to the entire art team and determining the design plan for "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", Fan Zhe also met Ye Jiayi.
It's just about asking for money.
You can talk about building a self-built supercomputer later, but it is urgent to buy a few machines to use, which is definitely something you need to do.
He didn't say much, just said that it was the "dimensional technology" to be used, so Ye Jiayi approved the money.
I won’t say much about buying a machine and putting it into the computer room.
Looking back, Fan Zhe began to shift his focus to the crew building.
The two deputy directors Zhao and Wang have already done the survey work of the shooting site, but afterwards, Fan Zhe will still go and see it in person.
At the same time, the selection of actors is about to begin.
This time, the audition held by Weidu Entertainment was completely different from when filming "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

Finally came back from a business trip...
In a whole week, I ate all the manuscripts and was forced to take a day off. I just got home today and started typing and finally finished writing before twelve o'clock.
Chapter completed!
